Discover the essentials of creating a beautiful and functional landscape with Mark Dwyer of Landscape Prescriptions by MD.

Improving a landscape involves more than just plant selection and placement — it also entails evaluating the site and forming goals for how the landscape can highlight and enhance the property. Thoughtful design also considers how the landscape will function, creating welcoming spaces, scenic views, and other effective features that add both beauty and purpose. 

In this presentation, we’ll examine the process of addressing these basic considerations to formulate a plan for how to successfully develop and design a beautiful and functional landscape. 

This program will be presented using Zoom. Participants must register and provide a working email address to receive the login information. 

This program will be recorded.
